Whatever is Pure

Sometimes I wonder what is so magical about writing and then it occurs to me that there is absolutely nothing magical about it. It's simply putting your thoughts into words and those words on the page. Sounds simple right? Well today my thoughts are pretty jumbled up.

It seems that at a time like this when the entire world was encouraged to root for agriculture on national telivision we should all be excited. Everyone who is a seat at the table for agriculture's stakeholders should be rejoicing, but that isn't the case. Some refuse to believe that what happened yesterday is a good thing. The fact is haters will hate and the selfish will seek self glorification and self righteousness. As for me, I want to say thank you Dodge Ram! Thank you for showing the world what we in agriculture mean to you! I realize you're probably going to get a few trucks sold out of this deal, but I believe in my heart that your motive was pure.

I was reminded of this verse by one of my favorite bloggers; "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8
